this is not the west telling syria what to do. it is not the permanent members of the security council seeking to impose their view. this is the arab nation's calling on the u.n. security council to help address the crisis in syria and the threat that it poses to the stability of their region. and the secretary general has come here and urged us not to let the syrian people down in their plight. members of the council have often called for arab leadership in the past and that should be respected now, by all nations of the world. can any member of the council today claim to have a better -- be in a better position to judge how best to support peace and stability in syria, than these arab nations themselves? the resolution does not propotion imposing change on syria from outside. it calls for the syrian people to be allowed to make their choices for themselves. it does not call for military action and could not be used to authorize it. indeed, the secretary general has stressed the plan of the arab league specifically does not inclu
